“Usually when you put five girls together, especially when they've been solo artists, it doesn't turn out very well.”

“Someone who just has a really good heart - it's so attractive: someone who makes you feel beautiful and encourages you - makes you better.”

“It's so important for us to be able to talk about body positivity and accepting yourself and loving yourself because we've all been in a place where we're insecure.”

“We worked with Max Martin's team, MXM, who are the best in the business as well. We worked with Stargate, which was phenomenal, and Victoria Monet.”

“Fight for what you believe in, speak your mind, and don't be afraid.”

“I encourage my fans to get involved, whether it's just educating yourself on premature birth, or you can donate or volunteer.”

“It's such a big dream of mine to be singing in front of my friends and family in my hometown.”

“My Barbie doll is definitely a reflection of me and my personality. My doll is so detailed, she even has my same beauty marks.”

“The main thing for all of us was having a ballad, a slower song. Finally, they get to hear more of a vulnerable side to us! We didn't really have that in 'Reflection,' and that's something we all fought for.”

“I might not be here if it wasn't for the research and the technology that March of Dimes provided for my family and me.”

“It starts with you in your own community. Just being kind to one another, being supportive of one another, and being loving and respectful. I can't tell you how far that will get you in life, just being able to do that.”

“As we grow, our music grows, and it's very natural and organic, and it's nothing that's forced, which is really, really important to us because we don't want to just do something drastic just to do it.”

“There's so many things you can do to make your community and help the world.”

“Selena is my angel. She is my biggest inspiration. Being from San Antonio, Texas, I really feel that connection to her because she had a lot of performances and a lot of her most iconic performances in San Antonio. Back in my hometown, we love her. We all, as a community, celebrate her and adore her. We keep her memory alive.”
